Help! Need EGR block off block ASAP!

[simmode1]

My s13 has been down for 3 days behind this thing. Does anyone know where I can get this bolt referenced in these pics...

When I call Nissan they act like they've never heard of it and refuse to sell anything that will make you not emissions compliant.

What is this part called formally? Where can I get it? Got a part number?

[Ajax]

I'm pretty sure that bolt is just smashed/welded in there. I'm currently looking for options to plug my egr. My DE egr pipe thread thing appears to be 7/8" - 18 coarse thread. Unfortunately, I haven't found any place that stocks something like that. I've seen a DC Sports header that had it welded closed.

[nismoracingsx]

just weld a quarter or something over it :p

[Shabbernigdo]

yes why pay 10 bucks for the proper part to do the job right when u can ghetto rig somethin else for cheaper

Just get the plug and fix it right the first time and it wont cause any problems later on

[Guappone240]

First use search....the call your nissan dealer or drive there and ask them for the egr block off bolt. Then tell them you have the part number (14052-21R00) . That should slove your problem...Oh it's like 8 buck so watch out.

[Guappone240]

Sorry it's ;like 20.98...sorry about that but they do have it.

Won't blocking off the egr raise exhaust temperatures and burn valves?

nah, its just a thing to make the EPA happy

[Wc240]

will raise the temps, but dont know where you heard it will burn vavlves. thats not true

[WhiteKnight]

A Gold Shield mechanic told me the valves would burn due to hotter combustion gases.

[Rev_D21]

It can cause an increase in Nox emissions. If you get sniffed by the state you might run into problems.

..onother urban legend for the ka.ive run a block off of everything on that motor for years..thats a myth.

[Kon036]

Purpose of EGR: Lower NOx Emissions by lowering cylinder temps, Increase fuel economy.

Burning valves is a possibility, but many factors play into that not just cylinder temps, unless temps exceed what the valve can handle.

show me a KA with the egr blocked off that ever burnt up valves...i wana see it!..this is an urban legend ...

lets get this strait once and for all...

cooler air= horsepower gain...end of that myth..hotter engine running temp= horsepower gain...end of that mythgood example of the statement above is in this months (modifyed mag) where they did the thermostat testing showing hotter engine temps lead to better scavaging and horspower over the cooler engine temps boasted by manufactuerer's of different caps and thermostats.

dont beleive everything on the forums..reaserch this crap for your self..blocking off your egr wont burn your valves up..its just BS that is slung around these forums.

[Wc240]

you wont burn valves. from the egr not working. you will burn a valve if you dont seal it off right and it sucks in cold air. much the same as an exhoust leak on the manifold, thats how you burn valves

[WhiteKnight]

Will titanium valves burn with a leak?

this is very true. Hell some of the Toyotas with vvti dont have EGR anymore. EGR is only something to make the EPA guys happy. It just sends all the crap that didnt get combusted back into the chamber to get burned again making clean air. If anything it makes you engine internals more dirty over time since your basically sending crap back into your engine. People say its bad for the enviroment but I say for every Prius on the road, there should be 2 of us that are allowed to have a car not pass inspection due to nox

hehe...good points man....dont forget that the place they mine the battery element for that ratbox (prius) couses more polution than a hummerH1 military truck does over a 20 year lifespan..lol..and thats just to make that ratbox lawnmower with seats...imagine if ya had to replace the batterys..lol..$5k and then you polute more than 2 H1's..its too funny

Vehicles with VVT still have EGR in a manner. Instead of having an egr valve you can control the amount of exhaust gas entering the cylinder by increasing valve overlap in certain conditions.

EGR does not reburn what comes out of the tail pipe. EGR, if working correctly, brings inert gas into the combustion chamber making it "smaller". With inert gas in the cylinder you can only put so much air and fuel into it. Less A/F means lower combustion temp and with less fuel being used you get better gas mileage.

your

your egr recycles the gas from the exhaust which would cause higher temps blocking of the egr uses totaly clean air and if a vaulve melts you got no pistons bc you will burn those up first other than not having proper sealed valves

Correct! Also, don't forget this is at the expense of power. Your EGR system in INACTIVE at wot, and has no bearing on cylinder temperature under heavy load conditions. Therefore, a delete will not cause damage (burned valves, etc) due to the fact it's only lowering cylinder temperatures when they're not at their highest anyways.
